Overview
On biopsy, follicular thyroid cancer i
s characterized by t
rabecular, solid, follicular tumor cells that invade tumor capsule or surrounding vascular structures.
Key Biopsy Findings in Follicular Thyroid Cancer
Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy
- The removal of thyroid tissue using a thin needle. The needle is inserted through the skin into the thyroid. Several tissue samples are removed from different parts of the thyroid. A pathologist views the tissue samples under a microscope to look for cancer cells. Because the type of thyroid cancer can be hard to diagnose, patients should ask to have biopsy sampleschecked by a pathologist who has experience diagnosing thyroid cancer.
Surgical Biopsy
- The removal of the thyroid nodule or one lobe of the thyroid during surgery so the cells and tissues can be viewed under a microscope by a pathologist to check for signs of cancer. Because the type of thyroid cancer can be hard to diagnose, patients should ask to have biopsy samples checked by a pathologist who has experience diagnosing thyroid cancer.
- Trabecular, solid, follicular tumor cells that invade tumor capsule or surrounding vascular structures
